10 BLOCK RADIUS MODEL OF POSITIVE YOUTH DEVELOPMENTPrograms and Services
The Siblings Together USA, Inc. 10-Block Radius Model is a continuum of services that not only address the needs of youth, but also the needs of the community in the District of Columbia. The model establishes the importance of giving to the community while in the process of receiving, thus preventing too much of a heavy burden being placed on the community resources. In the past five years, Siblings Together USA have hosted invaluable abundance of resources that helped address and drive the components of the 10-Block Radius Model and encompasses all of the areas presented in the Afrocentric Socialization Paradigm. The Siblings Together USA, Inc. Positive Youth Development, Education, and Leadership (PYDEL) Institute, is the main artery from which these services are provided. PYDEL Institute operates from an outcomes-based modality and has the specific task of monitoring expected outcomes, determining the inputs and activities needed to achieve those outcomes, as well as devising and developing new programs based on “Best Practices” and the needs of youth in the District.
